How often should I water my ping pong chrysanthemum?

The number of times to water the ping pong chrysanthemum is not fixed. In the early growth stage in spring, it can be watered once every 3 to 5 days, once every 1 to 2 days in summer, once every 2 to 3 days in autumn, and once a week in winter.

How to water ping pong chrysanthemum

1. Water quality selection

When watering chrysanthemums, try to choose clean, pollution-free, and bacteria-free water. Under normal circumstances, we can give priority to river, lake water and rainwater, and then consider household tap water. Since tap water contains a lot of chlorine, in order to prevent the chlorine element from being watered into the soil, it is best to leave the newly connected tap water for 2-3 days before use.

2. Watering method

Plant watering generally includes two basic methods, namely watering the soil and spraying the leaves and stems, and both watering methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Spraying the leaves can not only relieve drought, but also cool the plants. Watering the soil can shorten the water storage time of the plant roots. Both methods can be used for watering chrysanthemums.

Overwatering of chrysanthemums

If you water the chrysanthemum too much, water will easily accumulate in the soil, and its roots will rot due to lack of oxygen in the soil. When the roots rot, the leaves cannot absorb water normally, and the leaves will turn from green to yellow.

When this happens, the first thing to do is to deal with the damaged leaves, flowers, and roots, cut them off and disinfect them. Secondly, replace all the potting soil with sandy soil, transplant it into the new soil, and place it in a ventilated and diffused light place.
